Wow – she looks fantastic! I love the composition of this photo – looks great as a ‘piece’ of style not being able to see her face. I love her chunky ring too. That coat and the boots are excellent – she has true style!

Scott, I love your blog, but sometimes I find it so depressing. I mean, I think I have an eye for style and I can put myself together (when I’m not having one of those “I’m too cold to think” days), but then I look at your pictures and I read the comments and I just feel so unstylish it keeps me up at night. I wish I were 12 again, putting together my crazy outfits (tartan tights, anyone?). Anyway, thank you for these pieces of inspiration. At the very least, they motivate me to try and find my inner stylist again.

Its funny, the reaction against the bright boots and the colourful patch in the background (whatever it is). They bring to mind the expression “staring yourself blind” . Looking to much into a photo will ultimately leave you with less. Outfits are not made for hours of scrutiny, but just for looking at as you interact with the wearer. And if you just met this girl, all you would know is that she´s very well dressed. Her presence would make you forget the careful analysis. Had she worn your duller boots, she would have seemed a less interesting.As for the bright patch, it is a necessary counterweight to the rest of the picture. All greys makes for a boring picture..
